Big Brother John and Little Brother Jason have been matched since October, 2010. 

"John is really fun and awesome.  He takes me places and we like to play outside. He taught me how to play golf" says nine year old Jason.

Jason has become part of John's family.  They have even welcomed Jason's family into theirs by sharing the holidays together. John says “I look forward to the consistency of our weekly lunch meeting at his school and incorporating Jason into many of our family activities.   He has quickly become part of our family as our daughter thinks of him like a brother and my wife and I naturally want to include him into our activities.  Jason is treated like a celebrity with our neighborhood kids.   Getting to know his family has been a pleasure and we were able to share a holiday meal together.  We learned about each other’s traditions, favorite memories, etc. and the time together allowed us to move beyond the regular hellos and goodbyes.  It was a very comfortable gathering and we look forward to strengthening those bonds in the future.   We have been to Purdue games, gone swimming, visited festivals, taken nature walks, ridden bikes, gone to the farmer’s market, prepared food, gone out for meals, etc.   Some of the simplest activities have been our greatest times together.    I am proud to be known as Jason’s Big at school!”
